Planner Guide's Nostalgic Paper Memories has a Face behind the Dot .Com
Valerie Tillery & Lucy

After having to leave my job as a social service worker (16 years of experience) in order to care for my 90-year-old grandmother in the home, I sought many avenues to fill my day. Grandmother was a long-time business woman at best. I was now the stay-at-home granddaughter. I direct-cared "Miss Gladys" for 28 months. Then, grandmother passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 23, 2002. She was so ready by this time. She was a quick-minded 92-year-old, former business woman, who offered lots of advice. Granddaddy always thought she was smart. While she provided practical ideas and could quickly calculate profit (or loss), she turned her head and waived her hand in the air at the 21st century way of doing business and its Internet concept. Even so, she enjoyed receiving email! She'd ask me why people would visit my "computer store!" (hard to explain 'world-wide web' to her). I miss her and miss showing her all these wonderful products.
